About

Biphonic Records is a label based in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was established in 2002 by Hamish Brown and Andrew Eaton, with some help from a group of talented fellow enthusiasts.

The label’s first release was Swimmer One‘s debut single, We Just Make Music For Ourselves, which was championed on daytime BBC Radio One by Mark Radcliffe, and went on to win enthusiastic reviews and has since featured on several compilations. Encouraged by this success, Biphonic added Luxury Car to the roster and several albums from Swimmer One and side project Seafieldroad followed.

In 2012 Biphonic teamed up with the theatre director Cora Bissett, the playwright David Greig and The Arches in Glasgow to create Whatever Gets You Through The Night, a major cross-media project in which over 20 writers and musicians were invited to create something inspired by the hours between midnight and 4am. The results took the form of a live show, a book, a film and an album. The project included new material by artists ranging from Rachel Sermanni and Withered Hand to Ricky Ross and cellist Peter Gregson.

Further album releases have since followed from Andrew-Eaton Lewis, John Robertson and Hamish Brown.

Physical distribution is via Cargo and the catalogue can be found in Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music and other streaming platforms, plus individual artists’ Bandcamp sites.
